Jul 7, 2008 - Quit yapping on inflation. Inflation is NOT an enemy, but savior, from debt.The problem is the banking system controlled by interest rates, uses FRACTIONAL reserve banking.I.E. You wanna buy a $220k house, you put down $20k down payment, and have the bank cover the rest. Well, BANK only has to have 5% of what it loans out under current laws. That means the bank only has to have $10k to give you that $200k loan.So you paid $20k, bank TRULY only put out $10k, yet the bank owns your house.

Jul 7, 2008 - And the whole "appointing" Bernanke is the biggest bunch of bullshit to cover the face of the television screen.The "Federal" Reserve is about as Federal as if I created a hamburger restaurant called the "Federal Burgerhouse"."the [Federal] Reserve Banks are not federal instrumentalities... but are independent, privately owned and locally controlled corporations." - Lewis v. United States, the United States Court of Appeals, Ninth CircuitYes, the US govt ruled the fed is private corp

Jul 7, 2008 - Ron Paul is "TO MUCH: AMERICAN PEOPLE AND TO POPULAR" for him to be electable for the Global Lobbiest that he would shut down to protect and defend, not only American Citizens, but also Our Laws, Our Constitution, etc.. You know, the same things our Soldiers (past, present, and future) are dying for. Is it any wonder why his biggest backers are the US Military??

cyberrigger Says:

Jul 7, 2008 - The reason Ron Paul is being blackballed is because his ideas would kill the tax-money-profiteering and ruin the gravy train for the ultra rich.

Jul 7, 2008 - This video's praising the good old days back when Greenspan ran the Fed? You guys were way off. The Fed, what a disaster no matter who runs it.

Jul 7, 2008 - Just destroy the fed.

EchelonMonitor Says:

Jul 7, 2008 - Good ol' Greenspan--he told the Arab nations to dump their dollars--you gotta love him.

alanhowitzer Says:

Jul 7, 2008 - I bet they wish they had taken Greenscam's advice.

Jul 7, 2008 - fuck this is just embarressing. you americans had alan greenspan and now bernake. how can you have these 2 jewish people, who care more about israel than usa, controlling your money supply. lmao fucking yanks are ignorant.

rseveran Says:

Jul 7, 2008 - Most Americans don't understand how the Fed works. So yes there is a large amount of ignorance; most people are too busy trying to earn a living and whatnot. The ones that do understand the system want it destroyed, but feel a bit powerless to do so. So, the system will continue until the masses realize how it works.

BigBird1017 Says:

Jul 7, 2008 - You're exactly right, most Americans are clueless as to the damage which can be done by a central bank, and the efforts to block its establishment. It took massive regional bank failures in this country to create a "bail-out" which became the Federal Reserve Act of 1913, under incompetant President Woodrow Wilson. Like all bail-outs,it reaped short-term benefits and created long-term problems for the US Economy and the US Dollar.

Jul 7, 2008 - I am so glad that you made a really informative/entertaining video about the problems Ben Bernanke has made in the world, if only to counteract the nonsensical videos Neil Cicierega and I have made. Thank you,-You Furious Magician

xav17r Says:

Jul 7, 2008 - I must say, this video is pretty funny but controlling money supply and the federal reserve is much more complicated than people think. Anyone can criticize, but doing the job and taking all of the responsibility that comes with it isn't. I'm not saying that Ben Bernake is great but there's much more to it than people understand

edmontonguys Says:

Jul 7, 2008 - Very nicely done. Great singing for a political satire, I have to say.Vicious516 is too modest in his comment, their video has edginess that will reach some people more deeply than this one. Comparison is beside the point - the more voices getting the message out in different ways, the better.Thanks for this vid.

cmdreno Says:

Jul 7, 2008 - Truth is simple. The fed is complicated. What does that tell you?
